Weight Loss

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to lose weight (namely stomach), a year after having a baby? I feel like I'm so busy that I can hardly ever work out. I know I need to find time but would like to hear from some other moms who're working full time, how they are finding time for themselves to work out.

They have an app for smart phones too, that's what I use. I've lost 35 lbs since June. It definitely made me more conscious of my eating habits and portion size. It's been great! I do try to work out as much as possible, but now back at work (in education), it is harder to keep up with that. But calorie counting is really what has done it for me.

Granted, I still have somewhat of a stomach, and I doubt I'll ever get rid of that completely, but it's nice to fit in things I haven't in years!

I have just been eating healthy and right and things have started changing. Granted, I work full time so there is no time whatsoever for me to workout. Maybe, if you really want to try it, work out at home to an aerobics video after LO goes to sleep at night. That would be the only time I could make for it.

I have lost nearly 10 lbs in the last 2.5 weeks. That is only from eating healthy and making better choices. For instance, at lunch, I eat nothing but veggies and lite ranch. I eat a TON of veggies, but just veggies. For a sweet snack after lunch and to hold me over until dinner, I eat fruit. Then at dinner, I can pretty much eat anyhting I want, just don't over indulge.

Good luck! You just gotta find what works for you :) Once you do, it should get a little easier.

I second that app.

I work full time, have two children and go to school part time (online classes this semester). I am REALLY good about what I put into my body. I count all calories and make sure portion sizes are correct. A typical day is about 1200 calories looking like this:

Lunch - Mango Habanero Chicken Sausage (140 Cal for one link) with sautee'd onions, peppers, mushrooms and a side of brocolli.

Afternoon Snack - Tuna with Lemon Pepper seasoning and celery

Dinner - Baked Chicken with a side of vegetables

After Work Out Snack - 1oz. Almonds

I make time to work out AT LEAST 4x per week, but I shoot for more. Sometimes that isn't possible. I will usually be sure to work our Mon, Tue, Wed and Thurs, because usually I run into my biggest scheduling issues on the weekends. I work out after the kids go to bed. I have an elliptical in my house, so I get on that for 45 minutes and do high intensity interval training. Then, I use the exercise ball and free weights to work my arms, core, etc. Usually about 30 min. Weights I only do about 3-4x per week, even if I do more cardio.

I started living this way roughly a month ago, and have already taken off 18lb - and it's worked out that I usually do this M-F, but then take the weekends to live a little - a few sweets, salty snacks, BEER.....and I'm still losing consistently.

Hope that helps.

Ps - Drink water. Then drink more water. REPEAT.

I work full time, and in August I finally got back into running! I go twice during the week after LO goes bed and once on the weekends. I'm trying to squeeze in another run on the weekend but so far no luck. It's hard to make the time, when even if you do have spare time you'd rather just relax than go exercise! And when your husband acts like it's this big sacrifice to watch the kid(s) while you do something outside the house. The hardest part is getting out the door, but once that's over with I'm always glad I went. You could buy a treadmill, bike or elliptical to keep at home, or do workout videos.

About the belly fat, I've had no luck dropping mine yet, but someone on here said they had a lot of luck with dropping all sugar from their diet, or all added sugar or something (I would think fruit was ok). I thought about it and decided I'll put up with the belly so I can have sugar, lol!

Weight watchers! I do it all from my phone, sometimes online from my computer. I have lost 24 lbs and hubby has lost almost 40! You can also try 20 minute yoga, the core workout is great for abs. I do kickboxing at least once a week too, it really helps to tone my body.

I have been doing weight watchers and have lost about 30lbs since starting it 2 months ago. I bought a points calculator from ebay and track my points that way (i don't pay for the weight watchers service) but the stomach area is a section i just cant seem to lose. I however have just started doing wii fit for 30 mins a night before going to bed. Slowly but surely I guess!
